This week will see the return of 2020 Farmers Insurance winner Marc Leishman as he tries to win the event for the second time in his career. If he achieves that feat, he would be the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2005-08) to earn consecutive tournament victories. Speaking of which: Tiger will not be in attendance at the event — neither will several top-tier golfers — as he recovers from recent back surgery.
